Joni James - Bossa Nova Style
MGM SE-4286 USA 1965
Sleeve : Excellent
Vinyl : Excellent
Pop songstress Joni James was born Giovanna Carmella Babbo in Chicago on September 22, 1930. After studying drama and ballet throughout her adolescence, she joined a local dance troupe on a tour of Canada upon graduating high school, later working as a chorus girl at the Windy City's Edgewater Beach Hotel. A fill-in gig at an Indiana roadhouse convinced James to pursue a career as a singer, and while appearing in a TV commercial she was spotted by executives at MGM, signing to the label in 1952. Her single "Why Don't You Believe Me" sold over a million copies, topping the U.S. charts for six weeks and falling just shy of the Top Ten in Britain.
Like many vocalists of her time, Joni James embraced the Latin and South American rhythms that musically invaded North America in the mid-'60s. Her sublimely tempered intonations, coupled with Chuck Sagle's equally enchanting arrangements, were firmly behind the critical and artistic success of Bossa Nova Style. The dozen sides which comprise this long-player reflect James' versatile performance style on some of pop music's most sinuous and sensual compositions. Without a doubt, these lushly orchestrated tracks reveal the singer's penchant for passionate material.
